Help i can't get itunes to install on windows 8

Can anyone help, I have a new DeLL Inspiron 14z and I can't get it to install itunes on windows 8.  I am trying th 64 version.  At first I had en error saying the Windows visual C++ 2005 was suspended and i had to change it, couldn;t do anything, someone recommened uninstalling them and reinstalling, wont let me unistall.  Now error when trying to install itunes simply says the instller has encountered errors,  I've checked out a few online suggestions and tried downloading as a saved file in explorer (i usually use chrome)  that was the same error.  I though if I download to winows 8.1 that might help, my user name is the administrator said i couldn't download as i'm not admin, whch i am, so i set up another user downlad got to 51% after 12 hours so cancelled it.  truth be told i dont know what i'n doing and i hate windows 8!  please help!
Thank you

You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components (put them in the root of C:\)  then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AMDS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, and you might be able to run iTunes even if you can't update your devices at this stage.

  • I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8.  I click on the download link and it automatically jumps to the Thank you page without getting the run box to actually install the program.  I don't have the pop-up blocker enabled...any help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Help I can't get iTunes to install on my computer

    My husband just bought me my first iPod for our anniversary present. For the life of me now matter what I try with the troubleshooting tips I can't get iTunes + Quicktime to install properly. It will stall at 'Registering iTunes automation server' then pop up with the error 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' I have completely removed iTunes and QuickTime multiple times and tried to install. This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program. Does anyone else have any other recomendations? This is so frustrating. Why doesn't Apple have an 800 number to call for help?!

    +This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program.+
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC. (Run the Utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select the QuickTime entries, and then click “Remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders (Some or all of these may already be gone).
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime 7.2 install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Help! can't get itunes to install on my computer

    I recently got my own computer and installed Windows 7 on it. Now, I'm trying to put my music on it and i need to install itunes. it won't work. I click on the Download iTunes button, and it sends me to the "Thank you for downloading!" page and NOTHING happens.
    please help!
    thank you!

    I'm using internet explorer simply because i couldnt get mozilla firefox to install either. I'm having trouble downloading ANYTHING from apple...
    Ahhhhh ... In that case, let's try this.
    Head into your Internet Options control panel. Click the Security tab, and then select "restricted sites". Click the "Sites" button.
    Is there an entry in there for appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net ? If so, try deleting that.
    Any better luck with downloading an installer using IE after that?
    If there wasn't an entry in restricted sites, try instead heading into "Trusted sites" and adding an entry for appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net . Any better luck after that?

  • Can't get itunes to install

    I had itunes installed on windows, but recently had trouble with the ipod displaying as a drive. In attempt to fix that, I uninstalled, then reinstalled itunes & Quicktime. I also went into program files and deleted the ipod updater folder and the itunes folder.
    When I reinstalled itunes, it didn't recognise the ipod however was displaying as a drive in the pc. So I then uninstalled itunes / Quick time and deleted all the folders again and then also deleted the temp files in local settings. Now I can't get itunes to install at all!
    Can some help please!!

    hi Froudy!
    is this your error message?
    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
    the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

  • I can't get ITunes to install. I get the message: Error 2 Windows. Not able to find Apple Application Support. Uninstall iTunes and reinstall.  I did that and still get the same message.  Thanks for your assistance.  I'm using a Dell Computer, Windows 8

    Can't get iTunes to install. When I download it, and go through installation, I get the message, Error 2, windows 2; can't find Apple Application Support, uninstall and reinstall iTunes.  When I do that I get the same message again. Thank you for your assistance.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

    I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

    These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

  • I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

    I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open.  I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account.  I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account.  I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account.  I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated.  Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help   Thank you!

  • Help! Can't get iTunes store to open

    Recently switched from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. To switch all of my music and apps over, I had to update my Mac to the OS X 10.6.8. I also updated my iTunes to 11.0.5. When I did this, I was able to transfer all my music, and can still access my iTunes library. Here's the problem, I can't get the iTunes library to open. It shows it loading, but only get's halfway and stops. It has my account along the top, and even the home, music, movies, and podcasts buttons, but they only load halfway as well. It's just a white screen. There is no "unable to access iTunes store" or any sort of pop-up to explain why it won't open... Just a blank screen. My WiFi is working and I've tried multiple networks to make sure that was not the problem. I can also still get onto the store from my phone using my account. I tried to see if logging in with my sister's account would make a difference, but it still did not work. I've tried all of the suggested ways through the iTunes support and haven't found the problem. I'm not sure what the best way would be to fix it. Any suggestions?!

    I have exactly the same problem! Please help, it's driving me crazy!
